| recycled Christmas stockings
I, too, made stockings out of recycled materials this year. I went to a nearby thrift store and bought 4 sweaters for a total of $1, and cut a stocking shape out and sewed it together. I used the ribbing on the bottom for the top of the stocking so I didn't have to finish that edge. I plan to embroider snowflakes, etc. on them with yarn before I put them up this year. If I couldn't find the color sweater I wanted, I just used clothing dye. I'm delighted with how they came out-- look handmade, but only 10% of the work!
